PS3 biggest earner for Take-Two

48 second read

Take-Two has released it’s quarterly financial results and there are some surprising statistics inside.

First off Take-Two generated $1.5 billion in revenue in the last financial quarter which resulted in a net revenue of $97.1 million and that is where I got lost. I know the difference between revenue and profit but I get lost when looking at revenue and net revenue… especially when they are so far apart?

Anyway back to the results… They unfortunately made a net loss over the quarter but at least it was only $15 million. Which is much better than last years $138 million.

The leading platform for Take-Two was the PS3 which generated 35% of it’s sales, followed by the 360 with 28% and the Wii with a low 11%

So expect to see some great PS3 games, good 360 games and shoddy Wii ports in the new year.

    gross is the total income generated, net is the total income after over heads and expenditures… that’s the way i understand it to be.

    yeah but then wouldn’t that be profit?

    gross – expenses = profit

    umm… profit is also split up into gross and net which is due to pre and post tax figures.
    so i would assume net revenue is the figure which is liable for taxation. again i might be very wrong, my accounting skills are somewhat suspect 😉

    from what i remember from accounting, gross profit is sales less cost of sales like inventory etc. Net profit includes other income from investments etc and expenses like wages and admin.
